PeriplanetaAmericana Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Hi! I´m back again, I was too busy sorry. I bought them in a fair (Hamm, December 2007 edition) from Peter Grawobich: www.polyped.de I fall in love with them Another male: I have 3 pairs: 3 males and 3 females. I put each pair in a 16x12x12 (inches) plastic cage and I´m giving them orange, apple and dog food. Best regards, Javier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeriplanetaAmericana Posted January 3, 2008 Author Share Posted January 3, 2008 Hi! Thanks Graham, they are very active . Wait, dont they need Eucalyptus leaves in their diet? Keith, Eucalyptus leaves it isn´t necesary in their diet, you can also give them oak leaves, like me. There are many species of Eucalyptus and many of them are toxic and can kill our roaches .
